The Customer
Savills is a global real estate services provider listed on the London Stock Exchange with a network of more than 40,000 people in over 700 offices across the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, Africa and the Middle East.
The Problem
The customer is using Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 on-premise and had severe issues with their existing mobility solution. It had a limited feature set and lacked some essential attributes needed by any enterprise app. They readily shifted to Folio3 mobility suite to be used by their workforce into the following areas:
- Timesheets
- Approval
- Procurement
The mobility suite consists of native mobile apps for iOS and Android and the responsive Web portal applications and middleware for each area. The customer had the following infrastructure and DevOps needs:
The web portals and middleware apps to be hosted in Azure
Azure single sign-on for mobile apps and web portals
Mobile apps build distribution
Apps connecting with Dynamics AX 2012 hosted on-premise
Infrastructure security & Apps monitoring
Disaster recovery
Folio3 Solution
The build and release management of multiple applications, web portals and middle wares wasn’t an easy task. The customer is also required to have a disaster recovery mechanism in place so that in case the primary region goes down everything can be replicated into another region to keep their operations running.
To resolve the issue regarding the production environment, we suggested following these steps for segregation.
Continuous integration via Azure build pipelines
Continuous delivery via Azure release pipelines
Visual App Center to build mobile apps
Infrastructure deployment by IaC
Azure DevOps automation
Azure AD Application registrations
Automation is performed for all stages
Secondary Azure region for disaster recovery
